I'm back at my parents' in Lansing after a week in Connecticut at my sister's. While I of course love being with the babies, certain things about traveling to my sister's really get to me.

I'm having a very emotional Christmas this year, Time of the Month notwithstanding. I was of course always aware how drastically my life will change once I'm married. But it just clicked with me on Saturday that this could be my last Christmas with my family and last year was the end of Christmas as I know it. This year I'm at my sister's in ( Read more... )

I can't believe November is nearly over and I haven't had any time to write! Here's what I've been doing this month --

( Nov. 1 - 6 )

I think I'll end up with a separate post about the wedding, but we'll see.

( August 15 & 17 )

I think I will be able to write about my San Francisco trip today. Jeff's stupid company made him go to Boston last night even though he was already scheduled to go on Monday. So now I'm all alone again this weekend and I don't have a new car purchase to distract me. :-)

I'm in San Francisco again right now for another couple of days. I'm having a blast! Hung with S. for awhile on Wednesday when she picked up Jeff and I from the airport. We'll be hanging out with her again tomorrow and/or Tuesday and Wednesday until we leave at noon. Em's wedding was Saturday. It was gorgeous. More details on everything and LOTS of ( Read more... )

This is going to be another list post as I will be called to leave at any moment...

1) Just returned from a week in CT to meet my new niece, Cecilia. We drove out there for the first time. 16 hours there in one day; 8 hours each day on the way home. I'm exhausted and have not slept well all week. Last night was my worse night sleeping as I'm so used ( Read more... )

I'm all alone tonight as Jeff is back in Boston so I have decided to take this opportunity to try to update on how things have been going this summer.

All right, I have many stories to share with everyone, but I will start with the one you've been waiting the longest to hear: San Francisco. Finally. :)

My sister came down Saturday, August 11 to drive me to the airport in the early hours of the 12th. I was up by 6:30am and we were on our way to the airport at 7:45am. I flew out of Grand Rapids ( Read more... )

Can I please go back to San Francisco? The reality of my life is back in full swing. I have meetings every day (except Fridays) from 8am - 3pm for the next two weeks. This week's are relatively pain-free as they are curriculum training which usually involves doing the activities in some form. Next week starts the Shoot Me Now / Could This Be Any ( Read more... )
